Dessert: Ice Cream - Dovebar Minis and Nestle Drumstick Minis

07/10/2018 - Perfect little dessert or treat on a hot day (or really anytime). The Nutrition Information for 1 Bar/Cone was listed on the packaging, making this entry a breeze with only a few minor calculations.



Main Nutrition:
Dove Bar Mini (1 Piece):
60 Calories, 4g Fat, 5mg Cholesterol, 5mg Sodium, 6g Carbohydrates, 0.48gg Fiber, 5g Sugar, 0.75g Protein.







Nestle Drumstick Mini (1 Cone - 17g):
70 Calories, 4g Fat, 3.75mg Cholesterol, 20mg Sodium, 7g Carbohydrates, 0g Fiber, 5g Sugar, 0.5g Protein.









Modified Nutrition Information:
Dove Bar Mini:
This item did not have a weight listed for the "1 Piece" nor did it list how many pieces were included in the box. The Fiber and Protein values were under the amount listed (<1g) and having no per piece weight made for some interesting calculations.

I compared the "per Piece" Nutrition Information to that of the "per Carton". I then divided the per Carton numbers by the per Piece numbers. Examples:
Calories: Per Piece = 60, Per Carton = 880
- 880/60 = 14.67
Fat: Per Piece = 2.5g, Per Carton = 37g
- 37/2.5 =14.8
Carbohydrates: Per Piece = 6g, Per Carton = 86g
- 86/6 = 14.33

The results were averaged:
- 14.67+14.8+14.33 = 43.8
- 43.8/3 = 14.6

Then the Per Carton Amount of the "under" Nutrition Information (Fiber and Protein) was divided by the Averaged number above.
- Per Carton (Fiber) = 7g   -   7g/14.6 = 0.48g
- Per Carton (Protein) = 11g   -   11g/14.6 = 0.75g
